gawguy Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 A standard SMS is 160 characters including spaces, yes? I want to send a long message..maybe 300 characters. When I open the screen to compose a new text on my Samsung phone/ AIS network, I see a character limit of 918. I just tried a test message of 220 characters sent to myself and they all came in. I did not notice if I was charged for two text messages. Re charges: Is only the sender charged? Or is the receipient also charged?

StoneSoup Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 I can't definitely advise you on your specific situation - but I know that on my Android mobile phone, when I write long SMS messages, there is a point where the phone uses a pop-up message to alert me that the message will be going out a a data file, and not as an SMS. It then encapsulates the message into a "frame" - that looks like a video frame - and sends it out that way. I've never paid attention to the way this sort of message gets billed to me. Cheers!

cavanami Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 My 0g Samsung phone will send out two SMS. No, if I receive a SMS, I am not charged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
